THIS WEEK WE'RE WITH THE WARNER FAMILY, WHOSE SHOPPING HABITS ARE OUT OF CONTROL. OOH, THAT'S NICE. (GASPS) AND THEIR LOVE OF BRANDS IS ADDING UP. BRANDED PIZZA. I KNOW, AND TH` (CHUCKLES) I LOVE YOU GUYS. CAN GREGG AND CHRIS RISE TO THE CHALLENGE... THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS, SERIOUS ISSUES HERE. OH... ...AND BREAK THEIR BAD HABITS FOR GOOD? IF YOU KEEP THE BRANDS THAT YOU SWAP THIS WEEK, YOU HAVE SAVED... NO! NO WAY! COPYRIGHT ABLE 2017 SOFT MUSIC WE'RE IN STRATFORD-UPON-AVON WITH A COUPLE WHO ARE DESPERATE TO SAVE MONEY ON THEIR WEEKLY SHOP. TIM AND NOVICE COOK HANNAH, WHO STRUGGLES AS MUCH WITH HER BAKING AS SHE DOES WITH HER SHOPPING, I KNOW IT'S ONLY FOR A 6-YEAR-OLD, BUT I THOUGHT I COULD AT LEAST MAKE A CHOCOLATE SPONGE. I'M BLAMING THE FACT I'VE GOT A NEW OVEN. ALL: WE'RE THE WARNERS! 6-YEAR-OLD SETH, 9-YEAR-OLD JOE, 3-YEAR-OLD NOAH AND ISOBEL, WHO'S 10. (SQUEALS INDISTINCTLY) WHAT, LOVE? LIKE MANY OF US, HANNAH IS EASILY SWAYED WHEN IT COMES TO THE FAMILY FOOD SHOP. I SPEND MOST ON SHOPPING. JUST BY A LITTLE BIT. BUT THAT'S PROBABLY BECAUSE I BUY MORE OF THE MEALS THAT WE HAVE. I'M SEDUCED BY THE FACT IF SOMETHING'S EXPENSIVE, I THINK, 'OOH, IT MUST BE A GOOD ONE.' SOME OF THE OWN LABEL, WHEN THEY GO FOR THE REALLY LOW VALUE ONES AND THE PACKAGING SAYS THAT, IT PUTS ME OFF BUYING IT. HAVING STARTED A NEW CHAPTER IN THEIR HOME LIFE, HANNAH AND TIM ARE DETERMINED TO GET THEIR WEEKLY FOOD FINANCES UNDER CONTROL. WE'VE NEVER BUDGETED FOR FOOD. IN MY MIND, I ALWAYS THINK WE SHOULD BE SPENDING ABOUT �150. BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'RE WAY, WAY PAST THAT, AREN'T WE? IN THE UK, THE AVERAGE FAMILY SPENDS OVER �5000 A YEAR ON GROCERY SHOPPING. AND EVEN WITH ONLINE SHOPPING READILY AVAILABLE, OVER 95% OF SALES STILL TAKE PLACE ON THE HIGH STREET, PROVIDING A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR SUPERMARKETS TO SHOW OFF A DIZZYING ARRAY OF PRODUCTS. THE WARNERS HAVE ADMITTED THEY'RE TAKEN IN BY THE WAY THINGS LOOK, AND WHEN GREGG AND CHRIS ARRIVE, THEY CAN SEE JUST HOW EASY IT IS TO BE INFLUENCED BY APPEARANCE. HEY, LOOK, GREGG, I LOVE THIS. WE'VE GOT A WHOLE ARRAY OF DIFFERENT COLOURS OF PACKAGING ` SOME REALLY VIBRANT, SOME MORE RUSTIC AND NATURAL. I MEAN, WHAT WOULD ENTICE YOU? THESE BOXES HERE LOOK A LOT SEXIER THAN THESE ONES HERE. BUT, QUITE FRANKLY, WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? THE WARNERS HAVE HEADED TO THE SUPERMARKET, UNAWARE THAT GREGG AND CHRIS ARE ALREADY INSIDE. HOPEFULLY THIS TRIP WILL BE THE LAST TIME THEY SHOP IN THEIR OLD WAY. NOW, WHEN YOU'RE DOING A BIG FAMILY SHOP, IT'S ESSENTIAL TO PLAN AHEAD. HAVE YOU GOT A LIST? NO. HAVE YOU NOT EVEN BROUGHT A LIST? IT'S ALL UP HERE, LOVE. ALL RIGHT. OK. 10 SECONDS IN, AND ALREADY A FATAL MISTAKE. DO WE NEED SALAD STUFF, LOVE? TOMATOES AND, UM, A BAG OF LETTUCE. WHERE'S THE LETTUCE? WHERE'S THE LETTUCE? OH, IT'S THERE. AS HANNAH AND TIM FILL THEIR TROLLEY, THE STORE'S NEWEST RECRUITS ARE KEEPING A BEADY EYE ON THEIR SHOPPING HABITS. HOW MANY BAGS OF LETTUCE DO WE NEED? JUST ONE? NOT SURE. NICE HAT, GREGG. FRUIT AND VEG? THAT LOOKS PROMISING. BUT THEY'VE WALKED STRAIGHT PAST THE LOOSE VEGETABLES, AND HERE'S A CLASSIC SHOPPING FAUX PAS. I'LL JUST GET SOME BATONS TO GO WITH PIZZAS. PRE-CUT, BAGGED CARROTS WOULD COST THEM MORE THAN DOUBLE THE LOOSE ONES. THE BOYS RETREAT TO THE STOREROOM FOR A BETTER VIEW. HERE THEY ARE. OHH. HERE WE GO. TIM AND HANNAH. GET SOME GREEK-STYLE YOGHURT. IS THAT THE ONE WITH THE HONEY IN IT? DON'T YOU LIKE THAT ONE? IT'S ALL RIGHT. HE'S A MAN WHO LIKES HIS YOGHURT. SPECIAL OFFER SIGNS ARE CAREFULLY POSITIONED TO GRAB OUR ATTENTION. THERE'S SOME PIZZAEXPRESS HALF PRICE THERE. IS THAT`? IS PIZZA ON OFFER? GREGG: TELL YOU WHAT, HANNAH IS DRAWN TO A DEAL, ISN'T SHE? CAN YOU GET THREE? PASTA SAUCE. SHALL WE GET SOME PASTA SAUCE? YEAH. OH, HANNAH. NOW BUYING TOMATO SAUCES IN JARS ALREADY MADE. OOH, LOYD'S, HALF PRICE. QUITE GOOD QUALITY. COMPARED TO SUPERMARKET'S OWN BRAND. THEY'RE GOING FOR PREMIUM BRANDS TIME AFTER TIME. I SYMPATHISE WITH HANNAH IF SHE'S GOTTA COOK FOR FOUR KIDS EVERY EVENING. I CAN UNDERSTAND HER WANTING TO CUT CORNERS. BUT THE MORE CORNERS YOU CUT, THE MORE EXPENSIVE YOUR BILLS ARE GONNA BE. RIGHT, WHAT DO WE NEED CEREAL-WISE? OH, AND, UM, CAN I GET SOME GRANOLA? WHAT'S THAT ONE? OH, BELGIAN CHOCOLATE. (GASPS) GREGG: HANNAH, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? OOH, THAT'S NICE. I THINK WE'LL GO FOR THIS ONE. HANNAH, THAT'S THE MOST EXPENSIVE GRANOLA ON THE SHELF! SUPERMARKETS SPEND A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY WORKING OUT EXACTLY HOW TO GET US TO SPLASH THE CASH. ONE OF THE OLDEST TRICKS IS PLACING PRODUCTS AT THE END OF AISLES OR GONDOLAS IN THE HOPE THAT WE'LL BE DRAWN TO THEM AS WE SLOW DOWN TO TURN THE CORNER. THESE ARE HALF PRICE. OH, WE'RE AT THE GONDOLA END. LOOK OUT! HANNAH'S ON HER WAY. THESE ARE HALF PRICE AS WELL. DO YOU LIKE`? DO YOU LIKE BLUE RIBANDS? OH, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HAD ONE OF THEM. CHUCKLES: I KNOW. OH, GO ON. THEY'RE ON OFFER. SHE'S BOUGHT IT ANYWAY. BOTH LAUGH OH, THEY'RE` THEY'RE HALF PRICE AS WELL. (SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY, LAUGHS) WHY? WHY? DO WE WANT SOME PREPARED CHICKEN FOR, SORT OF, LUNCHTIME TO HAVE WITH SALADS? CHICKEN ALREADY MARINATED, READY JUST TO STICK IN THE OVEN. BUY ONE, GET ONE FREE. ARGH! GET A CHILLI AS WELL? ANY OF THOSE BIG BRANDS THAT ARE ON A SPECIAL OFFER, THEY JUST GET AN ARMFUL. HANNAH, TIM, THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE WAY OF SHOPPING, GUYS. IS THERE ANYTHING WE'VE FORGOTTEN? THE KITCHEN SINK? QUICK, MAKE A BREAK FOR IT WHILST YOU CAN. I DON'T THINK THEY COULD'VE SHOPPED ANY MORE UNECONOMICALLY THAN THAT. SHOPPING COMPLETED, AND IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT HANNAH AND TIM HAVE FALLEN FOR EVERY TRICK IN THE SUPERMARKET BOOK, FROM BIG BRANDS TO PRICEY CONVENIENCE FOOD, MULTIBUY SPECIAL OFFERS TO PRE-PACKAGED PRODUCE, THEY'VE BOUGHT IT ALL. BUT AS THEY UNPACK THEIR TROLLEY, THEY'RE IN FOR A MASSIVE SHOCK. IT WON'T BE THE STORE STAFF SCANNING THEIR SHOP TODAY. LAUGHTER HELLO, SIR. HIYA. NICE TO MEET YOU. HELLO. HOW ARE YOU? ARE YOU WELL? HIYA. HELLO. WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU. SOUNDS FAIRLY OMINOUS, DOESN'T IT? BUT WE'VE JUST BEEN BACK THERE, WATCHING YOUR SHOPPING TRIP. RIGHT. VERY INTERESTING. IS IT? COMPLETELY NORMAL, SURELY? YOU'RE, UH` YOU'RE VERY FOND OF A BRAND. A LOT OF THE BRANDS WE WERE BUYING, THEY WERE ON OFFER. DO YOU THINK YOU SHOP ECONOMICALLY? I DO SEE A YELLOW STICKER, AND I THINK, OH, IT MUST BE CHEAP. I THINK YOU ARE SHOPPING CREATURES OF HABIT. SO LET'S SEE HOW ALL THE HALF-PRICE DEALS HAVE FARED AND SEE WHAT THE TOTAL IS, SHALL WE? LET'S DO IT. SCANNER BEEPS HOORAY! ANOTHER EXPENSIVE BRAND. WHOA! THE MOST EXPENSIVE GRANOLA... I REALLY LOVE IT. ...IN THE STORE! I DON'T THINK THE CHEAPER STUFF TASTES VERY NICE. FAIR BIT OF MARINATED CHICKEN. YEAH, BUT I THINK YOU CAN'T GET NORMAL, UN-MARINATED CHICKEN FOR REALLY ANY CHEAPER THAN THAT. MAYBE A WHOLE CHICKEN. SCANNER BEEPS BRANDED PIZZA. I KNOW, AND TH` (CHUCKLES) I LOVE YOU GUYS. I JUST LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. BUT, AGAIN, THEY'RE` HONESTLY. I THOUGHT THEY WERE REDUCED. YOU TOLD ME THEY WERE GOOD VALUE. SCANNER BEEPS SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAZARD A GUESS AS TO HOW MUCH YOU SPENT TODAY? THAT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT �100 WORTH, CHRIS. I THINK 85, POSSIBLY 90. WELL, YOU'RE KIND OF BOTH RIGHT, IN A WAY. YEAH, IF YOU ADD THEM TOGETHER. LAUGHTER AFTER A SHOCK AT THE TILL, NOW MORE THAN EVER, HANNAH AND TIM REALLY NEED TO CHANGE THEIR SHOPPING HABITS, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDST OF A HOME RENOVATION PROJECT. YEAH, SO THIS, UM, USED TO BE THE OLD, UM, DINING AREA, AND IT'S GONNA BECOME OUR LOUNGE. I LEFT MY JOB ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO TO SPEND A BIT MORE TIME WITH THE FAMILY. UM, HAD FIVE YEARS WITH THE SAME COMPANY, WORKING LONG HOURS WITH A LONG COMMUTE. REALLY ENJOYED THE JOB, BUT, UH, JUST ABOUT I DIDN'T SEE THE KIDS AT ALL DURING THE WEEK, AND THEN IT WAS ALL FULL ON AT THE WEEKEND, COS OBVIOUSLY HANNAH NEEDED A BIT OF A BREAK AS WELL. AND I'VE BEEN DOING A BIT OF CONTRACT WORK, AND THAT'S SOMETHING WHICH CAN WORK WELL FOR ME. UM, NOT SURE WHEN THE NEXT CONTRACT WILL BE. SO WITH THAT AND THE HOUSE PROJECT, GOTTA WATCH THE CASH A BIT MORE AT THE MOMENT. THAT'S WHY WE'RE LOOKING A BIT MORE CAREFULLY AT WHAT WE'RE SPENDING. BACK AT THE WARNERS' HOUSE, GREGG AND CHRIS WANT TO DELVE INTO THEIR SHOPPING BAGS TO WORK OUT HOW TO BRING THIS BRAND-HAPPY COUPLE'S SPENDING UNDER CONTROL. LET'S HAVE A GOOD LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE BEEN BUYING. I MEAN, FOR A START, WE ARE VERY, VERY BRAND HEAVY. YEAH, I DIDN'T REALISE QUITE HOW MUCH, YEAH, WE WERE USED TO BUYING BRANDS. YOU'RE COMPLETELY RIGHT, YEAH. DO YOU ALWAYS GO FOR THE TOP BRANDS? PERHAPS WE'RE SUCKERS FOR THE PACKAGING ` THAT IF IT'S IN A REALLY ATTRACTIVE PACKAGE, THEN THE FOOD IS ALSO GONNA` IS GONNA BE NICE. SO ONE THING THAT'S SORTA JUMPING OUT AT ME HERE IS THAT YOU SEEM TO BE FAVOURING CONVENIENCE FOODS OR PRE-PREPARED FOODS. I'M NOT A CONFIDENT COOK. I WOULD NEVER THINK, 'OH, I'M GONNA MAKE A CURRY. LET'S MAKE THE SAUCE FROM SCRATCH.' IT'S GONNA TAKE AGES TO MAKE. 'OH, I'M GONNA HAVE TO CHOP UP THE ONIONS, 'THEN I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO THIS, THEN I'M GONNA HAVE TO DO THIS.' I THINK, 'OH, I'VE ONLY GOT 15 MINUTES.' SO, JAR, STRAIGHT IN ` IT'S A REALLY BAD HABIT. AM I STILL MAKING EXCUSES? NO, NO, I'M SURE THERE'S LOTS OF PEOPLE AT HOME WOULD SYMPATHISE WITH THAT. ESPECIALLY WITH FOUR LITTLE ONES. YOU KNOW, I COULD IMAGINE IT'S BORDERLINE CHAOS THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME. I COULD DO BORDERLINE. EXTREME CHAOS. (LAUGHS) I NOW NEED TO ASK YOU HOW MUCH IT IS YOU THINK YOU'RE SPENDING EVERY WEEK. WE THINK IT'S OVER �200 A WEEK. YOU ARE SPENDING... OH, NO, IT'S MORE THAN THAT. ...�355 A WEEK. THAT IS �18,000 A YEAR. THAT IS TOO MUCH. THAT'S FAR TOO MUCH. THAT'S TOO MUCH. NOT GOOD. THE AVERAGE FOR A FAMILY OF SIX IS �108.30, SO YOU ARE QUITE CONSIDERABLY OVER THREE TIMES. YEAH, OK. TELL US HOW TO CHANGE. WE ARE GONNA TAKE YOUR BRANDS, PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL PACKAGING SO YOU CAN'T TELL, AND WE ARE GONNA SWAP SOME OF THEM. NOT ALL OF THEM. SOME OF THEM. ARE YOU SAYING THAT GRANOLA COULD BE REPLACED WITH SOMETHING CHEAPER? WELL, MAYBE EVEN YOUR MUESLI. BY SWAPPING SOME OF THE WARNERS' PRODUCTS, THE BOYS AREN'T SEEKING TO CHANGE THE WAY THE FAMILY EAT, BUT THEY DO WANT THEM TO OPEN THEIR EYES TO ALTERNATIVE BRANDS AND HOPEFULLY LEARN TO EAT WELL FOR LESS. I THINK THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS I'LL DEFINITELY NOTICE A DIFFERENCE, REALLY PROPERLY DEFINITELY NOTICE A DIFFERENCE. YA THINK? YEAH, I'M QUITE` YEAH. YEAH? I DO. I'M QUITE CONFIDENT. ARE YOU UP FOR THIS NOW? DO YOU FANCY A CHANGE? WE'RE UP FOR IT, GREGG. YEAH, I THOUGHT WE WERE UP FOR IT BEFORE. I THINK WE'RE DEFINITELY UP FOR IT NOW. WELL, I CERTAINLY DON'T ENVY GREGG AND CHRIS. THEY'VE GOT THEIR WORK CUT OUT HERE. I REALLY LIKE THIS FAMILY. THEY'VE GOT ISSUES THERE ARE THREE IMMEDIATE AREAS THAT NEED LOOKING AT ` ONE IS THE AMOUNT OF TIMES THAT THEY ARE SHOPPING, TWO IS THEIR ADDICTION TO THE MOST EXPENSIVE BRANDS, AND THREE IS THE LACK OF COOKERY SKILL. WHAT I FIND QUITE STRANGE IS IF YOU PUT IT IN A LOVELY BOX WITH A BOW ON IT, THEY ASSUME THAT IT'S GONNA BE BETTER. HOW MUCH DO YOU RECKON WE CAN SAVE THEM? SEE, I DON'T WANNA BE THAT AMBITIOUS. I'M HOPING FOR 60, 70 QUID A WEEK. I THINK WE COULD EASILY CUT THIS DOWN BY 100 QUID. THERE'S SOME SERIOUS, SERIOUS ISSUES HERE ` THE AMOUNT OF CONVENIENCE FOODS THEY'RE BUYING, PREMADE SAUCES. I JUST THINK IT'S VERY DIFFICULT, THIS ONE. VERY, VERY DIFFICULT. SONG: # So you're shining... # VOICEOVER: Unwrap magic this Christmas with family and friends, made even more special with Ferrero Rocher. # Oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh... # Discover the delicious combination of a whole hazelnut, rich, creamy chocolate, a crisp wafer, and gently roasted hazelnut pieces. Unwrap magic this Christmas with Ferrero Rocher. OVERNIGHT, OUR TEAM HAVE BEEN LET LOOSE IN THE WARNERS' NEW KITCHEN AND ADDED THEIR OWN FINISHING TOUCHES, MAKING MOST OF THE CUPBOARDS OFF LIMITS. (GASPS) OH! (LAUGHS) HEY! OH MY GOODNESS. OH MY GOODNESS. WHAT DO YOU THINK? READS: CAUTION ` DO NOT ENTER. READS: CAUTION ` DO NOT ENTER! REMEMBER, THE WARNERS LOVE A BRAND, AND THEIR CUPBOARDS ARE STUFFED FULL OF THEM. OR AT LEAST THEY WERE. I CAN'T ACTUALLY OPEN IT. ALL EXCLAIM SO, HANG ON, WHAT HAVE WE GOT IN HERE? CHOCOLATE BROWNIES. HANNAH AND TIM: OHH! CHOCOLATE BROWNIES! (GASPS) HOORAY! GRANOLA! GRANOLA! YOU LIKE GRANOLA, DON'T YOU, NOAH? YEAH. CROISSANT. CROISSANT! THEY LOOK THE SAME. MUESLI. MUESLI. THEY HAVEN'T MUCKED WITH MY MUESLI, HAVE THEY? IS THAT`? (LAUGHS) DOES THAT LOOK`? I'M NOT SURE THAT'S THE SAME. THAT JUST LOOKS LIKE OATS. WHAT DO YOU THINK, SETH? YOU'RE NOT SURE, ARE YOU? NOT REALLY. I'M NOT SURE WHETHER I LIKE THAT, MY LOVE. WHAT'S THAT? SO KIDNEY BEANS AND CHILLI SAUCE IF WE'RE MAKING A CHILLI. CARROTS AND POTATOES. OH, THEY LOOK NICE, DON'T THEY? AND WHAT ABOUT IN THE FRIDGE? OH! (LAUGHS) WHEW. THAT'S A RELIEF. RIGHT. DIET COLA. OOH. IT WAS REALLY STRANGE NOT SEEING THE BRANDING. UM, BUT, ACTUALLY, IN A WAY, QUITE REFRESHING. AND KIDS' YOGHURTS. WELL, WE WEREN'T GOING TO LEAVE YOU OUT, JOE. WE'VE GOT SOME MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS. THEY LOOK` (CHUCKLES) THEY LOOK A BIT STRANGE. IT WAS GOOD FUN OPENING THE CUPBOARD AND SEEING THE TYPE OF THINGS, AND I THINK WE'LL LIKE AN AWFUL LOT OF IT, ACTUALLY. JUST A CASE OF, 'OOH, LET'S SEE AND LET'S TRY IT.' FOR THEIR FIRST DE-BRANDED DINNER, IT'S A FAMILY FAVOURITE ` CHILLI CON CARNE. WELL, THE MINCE WE USUALLY BUY IS NOT THAT COLOUR. LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING, TIM. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT YOU'RE GONNA MAKE OF THE REST OF IT. A VERY PLAIN-LOOKING CHILLI SAUCE. THEIR USUAL SUPERMARKET MINCE BEEF HAS BEEN SWAPPED FOR MEAT FROM THE LOCAL BUTCHER AT ALMOST �2 LESS PER KILO. TONIGHT IT'S CHILLI CON CARNE. USUALLY A FAVOURITE WITH THE BOYS. UM, IZZY'S NOT HERE, SHE'S AT BROWNIE CAMP, AND SHE'S THE ONE LEAST KEEN ON IT, BUT THE BOYS USUALLY WOLF IT DOWN. NO PRESSURE, THEN, TIM. I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER COOKED A BAD CHILLI BEFORE IN MY LIFE. BUT I'VE GOT A BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS ONE. I'M NOT SURE THEY'LL LIKE IT WITH THAT MINCE AND THAT SAUCE. OOH, IT SMELLS LIKE CHILLI ` THAT'S A GOOD SIGN. THEIR REGULAR, WELL-KNOWN, BRANDED CHILLI SAUCE SETS THEM BACK �3.5 A JAR. BUT THIS ONE'S ONLY �1.15. AND THE JAR'S 22% BIGGER. AND THE VERDICT? PRETTY GOOD. SERVE IT UP, THEN. THERE YOU GO, NOAH. (CHATTERS INDISTINCTLY) YOU READY? BIT HOT, THAT. (BLOWS) DOES THAT LOOK LIKE NORMAL CHILLI TO YOU? MINE'S ALL RIGHT. YOURS IS ALL RIGHT, IS IT? YEAH. I'M FINDING THE BASMATI RICE, IT'S HARD TO MASTER, BUT I FEEL WITH PRACTICE, I CAN MAKE IT. I LIKE THE RICE, AND IT'S NOT DIFFERENT. TELL THAT TO MUM, SETH. IT'S �2.56 CHEAPER PER KILO. THE CHILLI'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS USUAL. ALL OF THIS MEAL ACTUALLY TASTES EXACTLY THE SAME. IS THAT THE SAME AS WHAT WE USUALLY HAVE? YEAH. YOU LIKE IT? YEAH. IT'S NOT THE SAME, BUT I DON'T DISLIKE IT. BUT I THINK THE MEAT, IT DEFINITELY ISN'T OUR USUAL MEAT. IT ALMOST TASTES A BIT CRUMBLIER. I'M NOT SURE IT'S A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING. IF YOU'RE GONNA POUR A SAUCE OVER IT, DOES IT REALLY MATTER SO MUCH? IT'S NOT THAT STRANGE TO GO, (SHUDDERS) 'OOH.' THE WARNERS EAT CHILLI ONCE A WEEK. IF THEY WERE TO GO FOR THE SUBSTITUTED MINCE, CHILLI SAUCE AND RICE, THEY'D SAVE �6.89. THAT'S ALMOST �360 A YEAR AND WOULD CERTAINLY HELP WITH THEIR RENOVATION PROJECT. DADDY, YOU COOKED REALLY, REALLY WELL. THERE WAS SOME SECONDS, IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED IN MY SECONDS. CAN YOU DO A THUMBS UP? LAUGHTER FINGERS UP, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO THUMBS. WE'LL DO FINGERS. HEY-HEY! IT'S NOT JUST CHANGING MAIN MEALS THAT WILL CUT THE WARNERS' FOOD BILL. SAVINGS ON EVERYDAY SNACKS AND SMALLER ITEMS CAN ALSO MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. WHEN IT COMES TO YOGHURT, WE PURCHASE OVER 5.8 BILLION POTS EVERY YEAR IN THE UK. GET SOME GREEK-STYLE YOGHURT WITH HONEY. TWO FOR �3. EVERY WEEK, THE WARNERS POP A FEW POUNDS' WORTH OF YOGHURTS INTO THEIR TROLLEY, BUT DESPITE A BAFFLING RANGE ON THE SHELVES, THEY OPT FOR THEIR FAVOURITE BRANDS TIME AFTER TIME. AND THAT'S NOT JUST YOGHURTS FOR HANNAH AND TIM. EVEN THE ONES THEY BUY FOR THEIR CHILDREN ARE TOP-END BRANDS. BACK HOME, IT'S KIDS' YOGHURTS THAT ARE BEING PUT TO THE TEST IN ANOTHER SNEAKY SWAP. DO YOU WANT ONE THAT'S ORANGE-LOOKING, THAT LOOKS, LIKE, PEACHY? I DO! I DO! WHICH ONE WOULD YOU LIKE, NOAH? I WANT THAT ONE. MAGIC WORD? PLEASE, MUMMY. GREGG AND CHRIS HAVE TAKEN AWAY THEIR REGULAR BRANDED YOGHURT AT 44P A POT... THERE WE GO. MINE. RIGHT, THERE'S YOURS, LOVE. ...AND SWAPPED IT WITH A SUPERMARKET OWN BRAND AT 25P. SETH'S GIVING IT A THOROUGH GO. BUT I'M NOT SURE HE'S CONVINCED. I DON'T LIKE THE ORANGE. NO. I WANT THE PINK, MUMMY. DO YOU NOT LIKE THAT ONE? I DO WANT THE PINK, MUMMY. OK. IT'S, UM` I DON'T THINK IT'S NORMAL PEACH. WELL, LET'S TRY THIS ONE, THEN. PINK IS SO NICE. OH, HE'S GONE WITH A BIG MOUTHFUL TO BEGIN WITH, HASN'T HE? WHAT DO YOU THINK, NOAH? NICE. WAHEY! YEAH, IS THAT NICE, NOAH? POLISHED IT OFF. I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT WORSE THAN THE NORMAL ONES WE HAVE, BUT I STILL CAN EAT IT. I THINK IT DOESN'T TASTE AS CREAMY AS THE YOGHURTS WE USUALLY HAVE. IT'S` IT'S FINE. IT'S A BIT MORE WATERY, ISN'T IT? I DON'T EXACTLY LIKE THE AFTERTASTE. REALLY? WELL, IT` BUT IT'S NOT STOPPING YOU EATING IT. IT'S NOT TOO BAD. IT'S NOT STOPPING ME EATING IT. THE ONLY THING IS WITH THE YOGHURTS, NOT TOO KEEN. I'M A LITTLE BIT SURPRISED ON THAT. I THINK WE OUGHT TO GIVE IT ANOTHER GO. WE'VE GOT SOME MORE TO TRY AGAIN TOMORROW, ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT? YEAH. NOT A RESOUNDING YES. BUT THE REAL TEST WILL BE WHETHER HANNAH AND TIM KEEP THEM AT THE END OF THE EXPERIMENT. GREGG AND CHRIS HAVE GIVEN THE WARNERS A SUPERMARKET'S OWN RANGE RATHER THAN A LUXURY PRODUCT, WHICH MAY EXPLAIN WHY THEY FEEL IT'S LESS CREAMY. BUT WHEN IT COMES TO YOGHURTS, WITH SO MANY CHOICES, IS IT WORTH PAYING MORE? MOOING GREGG'S GONE TO MEET SENIOR DAIRY TECHNOLOGIST DEREK ALLEN TO FIND OUT. IN THE UK, MOST OF OUR YOGHURT COMES FROM COWS, AND YOU'RE GONNA SHOW ME HOW WE GET FROM THIS BIG BEAST TO A POT OF YOGHURT. THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO, YEAH. BRILLIANT. LET'S MOVE AWAY FROM THOSE COWS. THEY'RE MAKING ME QUITE NERVOUS. MOOING THE YOGHURT WE KNOW AND LOVE STARTS WITH THE HUMBLE COW, BUT COW'S MILK ISN'T THICK ENOUGH TO MAKE YOGHURT RIGHT AWAY. SO SOME OF THE MILK HAS ITS MOISTURE REMOVED TO CREATE A CONCENTRATED POWDER, ACTING AS A THICKENING AGENT, WHICH IS THEN READY TO BE ADDED BACK TO THE COW'S MILK. WHAT HAPPENS HERE? WE'VE GOT AN ENORMOUS VAT OF SKIM MILK HERE. WE'VE ALSO PUT A LITTLE BIT OF CREAM IN THAT. IN GOES THE SKIMMED MILK POWDER. WOW, MATE, THAT IS A LOT. SHUT THE LID. GO ON, THEN. TURN IT ON. MACHINE WHIRRS LOUDLY THE MACHINES ARE FIRED UP, AND THE POWDER AND MILK MIX IS PASSED THROUGH A WHOLE HOST OF TUBES AND PIPES, REMOVING BAD BACTERIA AND MAINTAINING THE YOGHURT'S CONSISTENCY. WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT A LITTLE POT COULD BE SO COMPLICATED? OUR MILK AND MILK POWDER HAS NOW BECOME YOGHURT MIX. THAT'S RIGHT, YES. SO NO MATTER WHETHER I'M BUYING A CHEAP LOW-FAT YOGHURT OR AN EXPENSIVE ONE, THAT'S GONNA BE EXACTLY THE SAME PROCESS. IT'S GONNA BE THE SAME PROCESS. THE PROCESSED YOGHURT MIX IS FILLED INTO THIS TANK. WE ADD CULTURE AND WE STIR THAT IN WHILST THE TANK IS FILLING. WHAT'S ADDING CULTURE? YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T PLAY A VIOLIN TO IT. NO, GREGG. GOOD BACTERIA IS ADDED TO THE MIXTURE, WHICH CONVERT THE NATURALLY PRESENT SUGAR IN THE MILK INTO LACTIC ACID, CAUSING IT TO SET INTO A GEL. SOME MANUFACTURERS PAY FOR EXCLUSIVE USE OF PARTICULAR TYPES OF BACTERIA, WHICH MAY POSSESS CERTAIN HEALTH BENEFITS AND SO COMMAND A HIGHER PRICE ON THE SHELVES. CAN I HAVE A LOOK AT HOW JELLY IT IS, PLEASE? OOH. THAT IS THICK, MATE, ISN'T IT? IT IS THICK, YES. SO THE BASIS OF ALL YOGHURTS IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME, BUT HOW DOES THE MONEY STACK UP? WELL, CHEAPER YOGHURTS TEND TO BE MADE WITH LESS CREAM, KEEPING THE COST DOWN. I TELL YOU WHAT, OUR MILK'S GONE ON QUITE A JOURNEY TO END UP HERE. RIGHT, COME ON, THEN, LET'S SWITCH IT ON. SHALL WE HAVE A LOOK? (EXCLAIMS) SO HERE IT IS. HERE'S THE YOGHURT COMING OUT. OTHER INGREDIENTS ALSO HAVE AN AFFECT ON PRICE. WHEN IT COMES TO FRUIT YOGHURTS, MANUFACTURERS OFTEN USE A PUREE FOR CHEAPER YOGHURTS, WHEREAS, HIGHER-END VERSIONS CAN INCLUDE WHOLE CHUNKS OF FRUIT. GREGG'S HITTING THE HIGH STREET FOR A TASTE TEST. IN THE BLUE CORNER, A HIGHER-PRICED YOGHURT WITH PIECES OF FRUIT. AND IN THE RED CORNER, THE CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE MADE WITH FRUIT PUREE. TASTE THESE YOGHURTS FOR ME. TELL ME WHICH ONE YOU PREFER. I PREFER THE RED. AND I PREFER THE BLUE. BUT YOU THINK THE RED ONE IS MORE EXPENSIVE? DEFINITELY. THE BLUE ONE ` SEVEN TIMES THE PRICE OF THE RED ONE. IT WENT THE OTHER WAY. I'M A CHEAPSKATE. (LAUGHS) THE RED ONE'S TOO SWEET. I PREFER THE BLUE ONE. I PREFER THE BLUE ONE. YOU'VE PICKED`? BLUE. TWO BLUE, TWO RED. WOULD YOU PREFER THE BLUE ONE IF YOU KNEW IT WAS SEVEN TIMES THE PRICE. UM,... NO. YOU BOTH PREFER THE RED ONE. DOES THAT TEACH YOU ANYTHING? WELL, NO` I DUNNO. HAVE TO GET CHEAPER ONES IN FUTURE. (LAUGHS) OH, WILLIAM IS GETTING SO STUCK IN. GO ON, SON. (LAUGHS) THE RED ONE WOULD PROBABLY BE IN MY PACKED LUNCH. THE BLUE ONE WOULD BE A TREAT ON A SUNDAY. (LAUGHS) I PREFER THE BLUE, COS IT HAD SOME MORE BITS IN IT. THE BLUE ONE IS SEVEN TIMES THE PRICE OF THE RED ONE. OH, IS IT? WOULD THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I WOULDN'T PAY SEVEN TIMES THE PRICE, NO. COS IT WASN'T SEVEN TIMES NICER THAN THE RED. 68% OF THE PEOPLE GREGG APPROACHED PREFERRED THE LUXURY YOGHURT WITH REAL FRUIT PIECES. BUT AT 54P PER 100G VERSUS JUST 7P FOR THE VALUE PRODUCT, YOU MIGHT BE BETTER OFF ADDING YOUR OWN FRUIT PIECES TO SAVE A BIT OF CASH. A FEW PEOPLE PREFERRED THE CHEAPER YOGHURT. A LOT OF PEOPLE PREFERRED THE MORE EXPENSIVE YOGHURT. BUT I DID MEET ONE PERSON WHO WAS PREPARED TO PAY THE EXTRA MONEY FOR IT. BUT THE WARNERS ARE OFTEN HAPPY TO SPEND MORE ON PREMIUM BRANDS, LEAVING THEM WITH A CURRENT WEEKLY FOOD BILL OF OVER �350. ARE WE READY TO TRY SOME BREAKFAST, GUYS? YOGHURT AND GRANOLA FOR ME. WHAT'S IT GONNA`? YOU GONNA GO FOR YOUR MUESLI? I'M GONNA GO FOR SOME MUESLI. ROUTINES ARE HARD TO BREAK, AND THEY'VE SPENT YEARS EATING THEIR FAVOURITE BRANDS. OH, AND, UM, CAN I GET SOME GRANOLA? WHAT'S THAT ONE? OH, BELGIAN CHOCOLATE. BUT THAT LOYALTY COMES AT A PRICE ` AN INCREDIBLE �9.22 PER KILO OF GRANOLA ` ALMOST AS MUCH AS A STANDARD SALMON FILLET. GREGG AND CHRIS HAVE TRADED THE HIGH-END GRANOLA FOR A MID-RANGE ONE, AND WHILE THE MUESLI'S STILL BRANDED, IT'S ALMOST 20% CHEAPER PER 100G. I'M A LITTLE BIT SCEPTICAL ABOUT THE MUESLI AND THE GRANOLA. I THINK THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GONNA BE A BIT DIFFERENT. READY? HERE YOU GO. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BREAKFAST? I DON'T LIKE THE MUESLI. OH NO. IS IT THAT BAD? I CAN'T REALLY DESCRIBE WHY I DON'T REALLY LIKE IT. BUT NOW FOR THE BIG TEST. WHAT WILL GRANOLA CONNOISSEUR HANNAH MAKE OF THE SWAP? FINGERS CROSSED, EVERYONE. TO ME, IT TASTES LIKE SOME SUGAR-FILLED CRUNCH RATHER THAN GRANOLA. I CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. I'M JUST NOT ENTIRELY SURE IF THERE'S ANYTHING HEALTHY ABOUT IT AT ALL. IT JUST` IT DOESN'T TASTE HEALTHY. THAT'S WHY I REALLY LIKE IT. I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE THAT BREAKFAST EVERY DAY. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FINE. WELL, HANNAH, YOU GET THROUGH TWO PACKS A WEEK, SO THAT'LL SAVE YOU �176 A YEAR. HOW'S THE MUESLI, TIM? OATS, AND NOT MUCH TO IT. I CAN EAT IT, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING I THINK I'LL GET USED TO. I DID THINK THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT BRAND, SO I'M NOT SURE I REALLY FANCY STICKING THAT OUT. I THINK TIM AND HIS MUESLI ` THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS WHERE HE BECOMES SLIGHTLY OBSESSIVE, AND THAT IS ONE OF THEM, UM, AND I KNEW AS SOON AS HE SAW IT` I KNEW HE WOULDN'T LIKE IT. AS GREGG AND CHRIS SAW AT THE SUPERMARKET, HANNAH AND TIM DON'T HESITATE TO BUY READY-MADE SAUCES. BUT IS IT WORTH PAYING MORE FOR PREMIUM BRANDS? GREGG AND CHRIS HAVE MET UP WITH DIETICIAN LUCY JONES FOR THE LOWDOWN. SO, LUCY, THERE'S LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF DIFFERENT PASTA SAUCES ON THE MARKET. HOW DO YOU NAVIGATE THOSE AND TELL WHICH ONES ARE GOOD TO BUY? WELL, YOU'RE RIGHT, THERE ARE LOADS AVAILABLE. WE'RE LOOKING AT THREE TOMATO AND BASIL SAUCES. A CELEBRITY-ENDORSED ONE, A WELL-KNOWN BRAND LEADER AND A SUPERMARKET VALUE RANGE OFFERING. THESE REPRESENT A HUGE SCALE OF PRICE, BUT ALSO DIFFERENT TASTES AND ALSO SOME DIFFERENCES IN NUTRITION. ONE INGREDIENT THAT IS QUITE INTERESTING IS THE SUGAR. I'M GONNA JUST SHOW YOU WHAT THE BRAND LEADER HAS IN TERMS OF SUGAR. OH MY WOR` OH NO. YOU W` REALLY? PER JAR? PER JAR. OH GOOD GOD. NO, STOP IT. YOU ARE KIDDING ME?! REALLY? IN EVERY SINGLE JAR? IN THAT JAR. IT'S QUITE A LOT, ISN'T IT? IT'S ACTUALLY 6.4G PER 100G. THE CELEBRITY-ENDORSED BRAND CONTAINS 25% LESS, AT 4.8G. SHALL I SHOW YOU THE VALUE BRAND FOR COMPARISON? YEAH, DEFINITELY. PLEASE. OK. DON'T DROP IT. OH. REALLY? EYE-OPENING, ISN'T IT? EYE-OPENING? IT'S JAW-DROPPING. MM. IT'S ONLY BY READING THE NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION THAT YOU FIND OUT HOW MUCH SUGAR PER JAR. SO WHAT ARE THE HEALTH RISKS OF EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR? IF YOU'RE SOMEBODY THAT DOES COOK PASTA AND TOMATO SAUCE A LOT FOR YOUR CHILDREN, THE SUGAR CONTENT IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT, BECAUSE IT COULD BE AFFECTING THEIR DENTAL HEALTH. BUT OF COURSE IT'S ALL A MATTER OF PERSONAL TASTE, AND THE PROOF IS IN THE EATING. FIRST UP, THE VALUE RANGE. IT'S A TOMATO SAUCE. IT TASTES OF TOMATO, AND IT'S SWEET ENOUGH. LET'S TASTE THE PACK OF SUGAR ONE. IT'S A RICHER, DEEPER TOMATO FLAVOUR. IT IS. AND ACTUALLY IT DOESN'T TASTE ANY SWEETER. IT DOESN'T. SO THE ACIDITY OF THE TOMATOES HAS PICKED UP ALL OF THAT SUGAR. SHALL WE TRY THE END ONE? AND FINALLY, THE CELEBRITY BRAND. THAT TASTES GREAT. BUT IT'S GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TOMATO TASTE; IT TASTES GREAT BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF GARLIC AND BASIL. MM. IT'S GOT A LOT MORE FLAVOUR, HASN'T IT? FOR A, YOU KNOW, PASTA SAUCE, A TOMATO PASTA SAUCE, THAT ONE'S ABSOLUTELY FINE. I CAN'T ENJOY THOSE OTHER TWO NOW I KNOW HOW MUCH SUGAR'S IN THEM. I SIMPLY CANNOT ENJOY IT. AND I THINK THAT'S IT ` WHEN YOU START GETTING INTO HOW MUCH SUGAR YOU'RE FINDING IN THESE BRANDS, ACTUALLY, FOR ME, THE BEST THING IS TO GO AND MAKE YOUR OWN. LUCY COMBINES RAPESEED OIL WITH GARLIC, BLACK PEPPER, DRIED BASIL, A STOCK CUBE, PASSATA AND FRESH TOMATOES TO MAKE A LOW-FAT, NO-ADDED-SUGAR SAUCE. THAT SMELLS DELICIOUS, LUCY. WELL DONE. SHALL WE HAVE A TASTE? THAT'S THE BEST-TASTING PASTA SAUCE. AND I'M HAPPY THAT THERE'S NO SUGAR IN IT. THAT'S REALLY LOVELY. THAT TOOK ABSOLUTELY NO TIME TO MAKE AND IS RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE. AND THERE'S NO FEAR ABOUT ADDED SUGAR OR ADDED SALT THAT YOU'RE STRUGGLING TO GET FROM THE LABELS. YOU'VE JUST SAVED THE NATION FROM A CUP OF SUGAR WITH EVERY PASTA DISH. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY) WELL DONE. AND BETTER STILL, THIS HOME-MADE EQUIVALENT IS NEARLY HALF THE PRICE OF THE CELEBRITY-ENDORSED BRAND. 1 US BRITS LOVE OUR ITALIAN FOOD, AND IF WE'RE NOT EATING PASTA, THEN WE'RE TUCKING INTO PIZZA, WITH OVER 400 MILLION OF THEM SOLD IN SUPERMARKETS EVERY YEAR. HOW MANY MARGHERITAS DO WE NEED? THERE'S SOME PIZZAEXPRESS HALF PRICE THERE. CAN YOU GET THREE? BUT FOR THE WARNERS, EVEN A SIMPLE PIZZA MEAL FOR THE KIDS IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO SPLASH OUT ON BIG BRANDS. AND FOR DINNER TONIGHT, ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR BRANDS HAS BEEN SWAPPED WITH A VALUE RANGE. TODAY IS QUITE A BUSY DAY, SO IT'S JUST GONNA BE PIZZA AND SALAD FOR THE KIDS. EAGLE-EYED HANNAH HAS SPOTTED A FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE ALREADY. WE DON'T USUALLY HAVE FROZEN. I ALWAYS BUY THE PREMIUM BRAND CHILLED ONES, BECAUSE THE CHILDREN SAY THEY ARE NICE. SO I THINK THE CHILDREN WILL BE ABLE TO TASTE THE DIFFERENCE WITH THOSE. BUT GREGG AND CHRIS HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE FAMILY'S PRE-CUT CARROTS WITH LOOSE ONES, AND IT'S UP TO COOKAPHOBE HANNAH TO PREPARE THEM. WHISPERS: OH DEAR. HONESTLY, I HATE IT. IF I DO IT IN HALF, DOES THAT LOOK MORE LIKE A BATON? YEAH, THAT'S FINE. IMAGINE IF YOU WERE DOING THIS FOR A COUPLE OF FAMILIES. SEE, I` (EXHALES) I'VE BEEN DOING THIS ALL AFTERNOON. LIKE, I CAN JUST ABOUT MANAGE IT FOR THE CHILDREN, BUT I JUST HAVEN'T GOT THE TIME TO BE DOING THIS. IT MAY TAKE A FEW MINUTES, BUT FOR A FAMILY TRYING TO SAVE MONEY, A FEW STROKES OF THE KNIFE COULD HELP TO CUT THEIR YEARLY BILL BY OVER �37,... RIGHT. DONE. ...WITH 400G OF LOOSE CARROTS COSTING 72P LESS THAN THE PRE-CUT ONES THAT'S A QUITE BIG PIECE OF CHEESE ON THAT ONE. MM. NOT GREAT UNIFORMITY THERE, IS THERE? YOU WOULDN'T GET THAT WITH MY PREMIUM BRAND. BUT YOU'LL SURE PAY MORE FOR THE PRIVILEGE. RIGHT. ARE YOU GONNA SIT DOWN? WHERE'S 'N' FOR NOAH? RIGHT, LET'S SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. STILL LOOKS GOOD ENOUGH TO EAT. BUT THE BIG QUESTION IS WILL THE KIDS LIKE IT? YELLS: IT'S... TEA... TIME! IT HAS JUST COME OUT THE OVEN, SO IT IS HOT, HOT, HOT. COMPARED TO THEIR TOP-BRAND PIZZA, THIS SUPERMARKET ALTERNATIVE WOULD SAVE THEM A WHOPPING �415 A YEAR. THAT'LL CERTAINLY HELP WITH THE DECORATING. SO EAT UP, KIDS. I RECKON THE PIZZA IS SWAPPED. I LIKE IT. AND IT ALMOST TASTES LIKE THE ONE WE USUALLY HAVE. IT LOOKS DIFFERENT, BUT I THINK IT'S THE SAME. SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BEEN SWAPPED OR NOT. I THINK THE PIZZA'S OK, BUT IT'S NOT MY FAVOURITE. I THINK THEY'VE DEFINITELY SWAPPED THE PIZZA. I THINK IT'S REALLY DIFFERENT TO WHAT WE USUALLY HAVE. IT'S NICE. WELL, THE KIDS LIKED IT, AND HANNAH MIGHT BE SWAYED WHEN SHE FINDS OUT HOW MUCH SHE'LL SAVE. HOW ABOUT THE CARROTS? THEY ARE MUCH NICER TASTING THAN THE ONES YOU BUY IN THE PACKET. I THINK THEY'RE PRETTY TASTELESS. THEY'RE MORE EVENLY CUT, THE ONES IN THE PACKET, BUT I THINK THESE DO TASTE NICER. THE CARROTS... ...WERE LOVELY. THEY WERE LOVELY. MUMMY CHOPPED THEM HERSELF, AS SHE LIKED TO MAKE A BIG POINT OF. THEY WEREN'T AS STRAIGHT, BUT THAT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. I THINK MUMMY SHOULD CUT CARROTS MORE OFTEN. I HOPE SHE HEARS THAT. WITH THE KIDS FED, IT'S DINNER TIME FOR HANNAH AND TIM. EVERYONE DESERVES A NIGHT OFF FROM THE COOKING SOMETIMES, AND TONIGHT IS TAKEAWAY NIGHT. TIM: THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL NOISE IN COOKING. OH, THAT'LL BE HANNAH COOKING FOR ME! (LAUGHS) OH, I'VE BEEN PREPARING IT FOR HOURS. THEY SPEND JUST OVER �22 A WEEK ON A TAKEAWAY FOR TWO FROM THEIR LOCAL CURRY HOUSE. BUT THE SUPERMARKET EQUIVALENT COMES IN AT �5.50 LESS FOR THE SAME MEAL. WE'RE HAVING A SUPERMARKET TAKEAWAY. I'D BE VERY SURPRISED IF IT'S AS GOOD AS A NORMAL TAKEAWAY. I'VE GOT VERY LOW EXPECTATIONS. ARE WE GONNA HAVE SOME POPPADUMS WHILE WE WAIT? I THINK THAT'S A CRACKING IDEA. OHH. THEY LOOK MORE LIKE CRISPS THAN POPPADUMS, I HAVE TO SAY. MUFFLED: MMM, THEY'RE NICE. I'M REALLY SURPRISED BY THAT. (CHUCKLES) I THOUGHT THEY WERE GONNA BE RUBBISH. IT LOOKED TERRIBLE IN THAT BAG. YEAH, THEY DID. BUT THEY'RE NICE, THIS. I DON'T THINK I'D HAVE EVER PICKED THOSE OFF THE SHELF, AND I BET THEY COME IN SOME REALLY TACKY PACKAGING. THEY JUST LOOK LIKE THEY WOULD DO. BUT THEY TASTE PERFECTLY FINE, DON'T THEY? IT SEEMS THEY'RE FINALLY REALISING THAT LOOKS AREN'T EVERYTHING. ONION BHAJIS ARE DONE NOW. I'M ALREADY GETTING A NICE WAFT OF AROMA. I THINK THE FLAVOUR'S VERY NICE. REALLY FLAVOURSOME. MM. I THINK THAT'S ALL RIGHT. I WAS READY TO REALLY TURN MY NOSE UP. MM-HM. BUT, YEAH, I THINK THAT THEY'RE FINE. WHAT ABOUT THE MAIN COURSE? WELL, IT SMELLS NICE. I THINK THIS TASTES BETTER THAN SOME READY-MEAL CURRIES THAT I'VE HAD. BUT IT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE A TAKEAWAY. WHEN YOU GO FOR A TAKEAWAY, YOU GET A REAL SLOPPY, OILY,... YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. ...REALLY FULFILLING... YOU'RE RIGHT. AND IT'S NOT QUITE THAT, BUT THE FLAVOURS ARE THE SAME. THE ONLY THING FOR ME THAT WAS DIFFERENT WAS THE CHICKEN KORMA. THE SAUCE JUST WASN'T THE SAME. FOR A TREAT, I DON'T THINK THAT COULD REPLACE OUR INDIAN TAKEAWAY, BUT IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME IF WE GOT THAT IN THE HOUSE EVERY NOW AND AGAIN FOR A NORMAL EVENING MEAL. IT'S NICE. WELL, YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE IT SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT. IF YOU DECIDE YOU CAN STAND THE SWAP, YOU'LL SAVE JUST OVER �287 A YEAR. IN RECENT YEARS, SUPERMARKETS HAVE INVESTED A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY IN PRODUCING THEIR OWN LOW-COST ALTERNATIVES TO THE HIGH-STREET TAKEAWAY. CHRIS IS HEADED TO NOON KITCHEN IN WEST LONDON TO LIFT THE LID ON WHAT GOES INTO OUR SUPERMARKET TAKEAWAYS. AND WHO BETTER TO SHOW HIM THE PROCESS THAN HEAD CHEF VISHAL REW IN THE COMPANY'S DEVELOPMENT KITCHEN? HI, VISHAL. HELLO. HOW ARE YOU? VERY WELL, THANK YOU. YOU TAKE A TRADITIONAL DISH THAT YOU CAN BUY FROM A TAKEAWAY, AND THEN YOU TRY AND REPLICATE IT IN HERE? YES, THAT'S RIGHT. WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY IS ACTUALLY A JALFREZI RECIPE. WHAT YOU'RE GONNA COOK CAN'T BE THE SAME AS WHAT THEY'RE DOING DOWNSTAIRS ON A LARGER SCALE. SURELY, THERE MUST BE SOME PRESERVATIVES? NOTHING WHATSOEVER. WHAT YOU SEE OVER HERE IS EXACTLY WHAT GOES INTO OUR FOOD. SIZZLING FOR ME, WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING IS THE FACT THAT YOU'RE USING REAL, FRESH INGREDIENTS IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY THAT YOU WOULD USE AS IF YOU WERE IN A COMMERCIAL KITCHEN. IT'S ACTUALLY EXACTLY THE SAME WAY HOW WE COOK AT HOME, AND THAT'S HOW WE COOK IT. (SNIFFS) THAT SMELLS BRILLIANT. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A TASTE? YEAH, NO, I'D LOVE TO, YEAH, DEFINITELY. OH! THAT'S LOVELY. AND THE FACT THAT IT'S MADE WITH FRESH INGREDIENTS AND THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING WHEN THEY'RE HAVING ONE OF YOUR READY MEALS. YES, THEY CERTAINLY ARE. ALTHOUGH, THEY'RE NOT ALL MADE WITH YOUR FAIR HANDS, BUT... NO, NOT` NOT BY MY OWN HANDS. ONCE THE PRODUCT IS SIGNED OFF, IT'S DOWN TO THE FACTORY FLOOR FOR PRODUCTION ON A LARGER SCALE, WHERE CHRIS IS GETTING STUCK IN COOKING THE BIGGEST VAT OF RICE YOU'VE EVER SEEN. WE'VE GOT ALL THE RICE THAT HAS GONE IN. NOW IT'S THE POWDERED SPICE, AND WE'RE JUST GONNA ADD IT IN. AND ALL OF THESE BAGS HAVE BEEN EXACTLY WEIGHED OUT? YES. AND THAT'S A STOCK FOR COOKING THE RICE. THE KEY ADVANTAGE OF BUYING A SUPERMARKET TAKEAWAY IS YOU CAN CHECK EXACTLY WHAT'S GONE INTO IT. I ALWAYS ASSUMED THE MASS-PRODUCED READY MEALS WOULD BE MADE SOLELY BY A MACHINE IN FACTORIES. IT'S BEEN GREAT TO SEE THAT THERE ARE REAL PEOPLE COOKING AND USING ONLY THE NATURAL INGREDIENTS, JUST LIKE YOU WOULD AT HOME. 1 GREGG AND CHRIS' MISSION WITH THE WARNERS ISN'T JUST ABOUT GETTING THEM TO SAVE MONEY BY SWAPPING THE BRANDS THEY SHOP FOR. BUYING FRESH INGREDIENTS FOR HOME-COOKED MEALS RATHER THAN PRE-PREPARED OPTIONS WILL SAVE THEM MORE CASH. BUT YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW HOW TO COOK THEM, AND THAT'S WHERE HANNAH NEEDS A BIT OF HELP. HONESTLY, I HATE IT. IF I DO IT IN HALF, DOES THAT LOOK MORE LIKE A BATON? YEAH, THAT'S FINE. WITH GUESTS DUE ROUND AT THE WARNERS TONIGHT, GREGG'S COME TO HER RESCUE. HANNAH REALLY LACKS CONFIDENCE IN THE KITCHEN. BUT IN FAIRNESS, SHE IS BUSY RAISING FOUR SMALL CHILDREN. BUT I WANNA HELP HER. I WANNA SHOW HER THAT A CHOPPING BOARD AND A KNIFE ARE NOTHING TO BE SCARED OF. (KNOCKS ON DOOR) YO! CHUCKLES: HELLO! COME IN. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE A LOVELY KITCHEN, YOU KNOW THAT? OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LAST TIME YOU HAD PEOPLE ROUND, YOU ENDED UP SPENDING A FORTUNE IN PREPARED FOOD. I DID, YEAH. AND SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO IS SHOW YOU SOME REALLY SIMPLE THINGS TO DO. WE'RE GONNA DO SOME ROASTED CHICKEN AND VEG, WE'RE GONNA DO SOME CHEESE STRAWS, AND WE'RE GONNA DO SOME BRUSCHETTA. BRILLIANT. USE A BIG KNIFE; IT'S EASIER. OK. IT'S ALL RIGHT. YOU CAN LEAVE THE SEEDS. DO YOU FEEL FINE? NO. WHY? I FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO CUT MY FINGER OFF. IN ORDER TO GET BETTER AT IT,... ...I'VE GOTTA START DOING IT MORE. OK. CHUCK IT IN. RIGHT, COURGETTE. I LIKE COURGETTES. NOW, I WANT YOU TO DO THAT. NOW, IMAGINE YOU'RE PUSHING THE POINT TOWARDS THE END OF THE CHOPPING BOARD. I'M GOING UP, AND I'M COMING DOWN. YOU'RE MOVING THE COURGETTE, NOT THE KNIFE. AND THAT WILL GET FASTER AND FASTER, AND SOON YOU'LL BE CHOPPING LIKE A CHEF. CRUNCH! IT'S THERAPEUTIC, YOU KNOW, COOKING. IT IS. DO YOU KNOW`? IT COULD BE YOUR TIME. I KNOW, I KNOW. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A CHORE. IT CAN BE YOUR TIME. NOW, LOOK, PUT IT POINT DOWN. THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO. AH, THERE WE ARE. SCRAPE IT, SCRAPE IT. OK. I LIKE THIS BIT. I ALMOST FEEL LIKE A PROPER CHEF. YEAH! CHEZ HANNAH. LET'S GO. RIGHT, OLIVE OIL. JUST LITERALLY... YEAH. DRIZZLE ACROSS LIKE THIS? THAT'S IT. YEAH. NOW, SEASONING. SWAP. SWAP YOU. CHICKEN THIGHS ` JUICY AND VALUE FOR MONEY. OH, COS, YEAH, I WOULD ALWAYS BUY CHICKEN BREASTS. I'D NEVER BUY THIGHS. I THINK THERE'S MORE FLAVOUR IN THE THIGHS. IS THERE NOT ALSO`? ARE THEY NOT VERY FATTY? NO, NOT VERY FATTY. PREHEAT THE OVEN AT 200 DEGREES. RIGHT, IN THE OVEN. RIGHT. 35 MINUTES. RIGHT. NOW, HOW EASY WAS THAT? LOOKS GREAT. IT LOOKS REALLY GOOD, AND, YEAH, IT SMELLS REALLY NICE AS WELL. MMM, LOOKS DELICIOUS. AND THAT'S ONE DISH UNDER HANNAH'S BELT FOR TONIGHT'S GUESTS TO ENJOY. BUT IT'S NOT JUST GREGG WHO'S HELPING OUT. CHRIS IS ON HIS WAY TO MEET TIM FOR A SPOT OF MARKET SHOPPING. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET TIM IN A MARKET AND GET HIM HANDS ON WITH SOME FRUIT AND VEG. COS I THINK THE WAY HE'S BUYING FRUIT AND VEG IS ALL WRONG. AT THE MOMENT, TIM AND HANNAH ARE BUYING PRE-PREPARED SALADS, BATON CARROTS. YOU CAN'T BUY THOSE THINGS IF YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE MONEY. AS AN AWARD-WINNING GROCER, CHRIS KNOWS HIS ONIONS. HI, CHRIS. HOW ARE YOU DOING? VERY WELL, TIM, YEAH. YOURSELF? AND HE'S RIGHT AT HOME IN THE BUSTLING MARKET ATMOSPHERE. ONE OF THE THINGS ABOUT BUYING STUFF THAT'S PRE-PREPARED OR PRE-PACKAGED, IT'S BEEN WASHED, AND BY WASHING IT, THAT REALLY SHORTENS THE SHELF LIFE. AND OBVIOUSLY IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO MAKE SAVINGS AND LOOKING FOR VALUE, THE LONGER IT LASTS, THE LESS LIKELY YOU ARE TO THROW IT AWAY... MM. YEAH, YEAH. ...AND THEN HAVE TO REPLACE IT. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NATURAL CARROT AND THE PRE-PREPARED ONES IS LESS OF THIS HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO AIR, IT HASN'T BEEN WASHED, SO THEREFORE IT'S GOT A MUCH LONGER LIFE. THE PRE-SLICED CARROTS, THEY GO OFF REALLY QUICKLY ONCE THEY'VE OPENED. THE FRESHNESS IS THE FLAVOUR. THE QUICKER IT CAN COME FROM THE GROUND ON TO YOUR PLATE, THE BETTER IT WILL TASTE. THESE ARE A POUND A BOWL ` PERFECT. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS SORT OF SPINACH AND THE BABY LEAF SPINACH YOU CAN BUY IN THE PACKS IS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, LIKE A DIFFERENT PRODUCT. IF IT CAN SUPPORT ITS OWN WEIGHT, YOU CAN TELL IT'S NICE AND FRESH. I LIKE THIS HOLDING ITS OWN WEIGHT. I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT. TOP TIP THERE, CHRIS. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE NEVER BUY MORE THAN WE NEED. ONCE YOU START THROWING THINGS AWAY, EVERYTHING GETS VERY EXPENSIVE. TRY A BIT OF THAT. YOU WON'T GET BETTER THAN THAT. MMM. DELICIOUS. WHOA, THAT IS... I THINK THE KIDS WOULD DEVOUR THAT. SHALL WE TAKE THE WHOLE ONE? (LAUGHS) LIFE'S HECTIC AND SUPERMARKETS ARE CONVENIENT, BUT IF WE'VE GOT A GOOD MARKET NEARBY, I'D DEFINITELY LIKE TO COME OUT ONCE A WEEK. TIM'S TAKING A LOT OF THE TIPS ON BOARD THAT I WAS GIVING HIM. I THINK HE'S IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE TO BUY FRESH PRODUCE FROM NOW ON. I'M SURE HANNAH WILL MAKE USE OF ALL THIS FRESH PRODUCE WITH HER NEWLY ACQUIRED KNIFE SKILLS. BACK IN STRATFORD-UPON-AVON, GREGG'S GOT EVEN MORE KITCHEN WISDOM TO SHARE. I'M GONNA SHOW YOU HOW TO MAKE CHEESE STRAWS. RIGHT. SOME READY-MADE PUFF PASTRY. CUT YOURSELF SOME STRIPS. WE ARE GOING TO GRATE PARMESAN OVER THESE, SPRINKLE ON PAPRIKA AND STICK 'EM IN THE OVEN. THAT'S GONNA BE CHEAPER THAN BUYING THEM. I ACTUALLY WORKED THIS OUT, AND MAKING THEM YOURSELF COMES IN AT HALF THE PRICE OF BUYING. PARMAGIANO. LITERALLY JUST ALL OVER? LOADS OF IT, MATE. SPRINKLE THE PAPRIKA. NOW, I DEFY YOU TO FIND ANYTHING EASIER THAN THAT. THAT GOES IN THE OVEN AT 200 DEGREES FOR ABOUT 10 TO 12 MINUTES. I'D NEVER THINK TO MAKE SNACKS LIKE THIS WHEN PEOPLE CAME ROUND. I'D ALWAYS GET SOMETHING OUT OF A PACKET. BUT THAT WAS REALLY EASY. YEAH, THAT'S GOTTA BE QUICKER TO MAKE THAN IT IS TO RUN TO THE SHOPS AND BUY. CHEESE STICKS IN THE OVEN, A SIMPLE BRUSCHETTA OF CHOPPED TOMATOES, SEASONING AND FRESH BASIL MIXED TOGETHER AND PLACED ON TOASTED BREAD TOPS OFF HANNAH'S TRIO OF TREATS. THREE DISHES. DIDN'T TAKE YOU VERY LONG AT ALL. AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A FRACTION OF THE COST OF THE WAY YOU NORMALLY SHOP. NOW THAT I'VE DONE IT ONCE AND I'VE DONE IT WITH YOU, I'M LOOKING AT THEM, GOING, 'OH, OK, I COULD DO THAT.' IT LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN MOST SHOP-BOUGHT STUFF. I REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO TASTE IT. I'VE REALLY ENJOYED MAKING THE DISHES THAT WE'VE DONE. FOR ME, IT'S ALL ABOUT CONFIDENCE. ONCE I'VE BEEN SHOWN HOW TO DO SOMETHING, AND ONCE I'VE DONE IT ONCE, AND IF IT'S TURNED OUT ALL RIGHT, I'LL JUST RUN WITH IT. HANNAH AND TIM CAN EASILY SPEND �150 WHEN ENTERTAINING FRIENDS BY BUYING PRE-PREPARED MEAT PLATTERS AND PARTY FOOD AND DRINK. BUT THANKS TO THEIR NEW-FOUND KNOWLEDGE, THIS SHOULD BE A THING OF THE PAST. TO HANNAH AND TIM. ALL: TO HANNAH AND TIM. CHEERS. LET'S SEE IF THEIR GUESTS LIKE IT. THESE ARE ACTUALLY REALLY NICE. THE, UH, BRUSCHETTA ARE AMAZING. ALL CHATTER THAT IS LOVELY. THAT'S THE KIND OF MEAL I LIKE. YEAH. THAT'S REALLY NICE. THE WARNERS HAVE BEEN AT THE MERCY OF GREGG AND CHRIS WHEN IT COMES TO MEAL TIMES. SOME HAVE BEEN GOOD... THUMBS UP. HE LIKES IT. ...AND SOME, WELL, NOT SO GOOD. THE CHICKEN SEEMED DRIER THAN USUAL. ARE YOU SURE? QUIETLY: MUMMY AND DADDY OVERCOOKED IT. IT'S THE FINAL DAY OF THEIR FOOD SWAP. TIME FOR ANOTHER TEST. BRANDING IS EVERYTHING TO HANNAH AND TIM. GLOSSY PACKAGING ENTICES THEM IN AS THEY EXPECT A QUALITY PRODUCT. ON THE LUNCH MENU, MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS. BUT, BETWEEN US, HERE'S THE CATCH ` THIS IS NO VALUE RANGE. UM, I HAVE TO SAY THEY'RE NOT THE MOST APPETISING-LOOKING MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS I'VE EVER SEEN. THE CHICKEN'S ACTUALLY FROM THE SAME TOP-END SUPERMARKET SHE CURRENTLY BUYS FROM, MINUS THE PRETTY PACKAGING, AND WITH A DIFFERENT MARINADE TO THROW HER OFF THE SCENT. I'VE JUDGED THINGS BY LOOKS BEFORE, AND I'VE GOT IT WRONG, SO I'M GONNA GIVE IT A TRY. IT'S LIKE ONE BIG MARINATE PIECE. THAT JUST LOOKS LIKE... SOME SORT OF UNRECOGNISABLE MEAT. I SAY IT LOOKS VERY BUDGETY. NOT TO BE BEATEN BY A PIECE OF CHICKEN, BRAVE HANNAH SOLDIERS ON. THERE YOU GO. CHICKEN BREAST COOKED, TIME FOR THE ALL-IMPORTANT TASTE TEST. THANK YOU, LOVE. I'M QUITE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS. IT SMELLS VERY NICE. I'M SLIGHTLY WORRIED ABOUT THE CHICKEN. THE CHICKEN JUST DOESN'T LOOK VERY GOOD QUALITY. IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE CHICKEN. I THINK IT'S BEEN MARINATED FOR SUCH A LONG TIME... NOT SUCCULENT. A BIT RECONSTITUTED-TYPE FEEL TO IT. AND IT LOOKS` MAYBE IT'S JUST COS IT'S DIFFERENT. IT MIGHT BE A CON AND IT'S ACTUALLY ORGANICALLY BRILLIANT. THAT IS NOT A PATCH, TASTE-WISE OR LOOKS-WISE, ON WHAT WE USUALLY HAVE. I DON'T LIKE IT SITTING ON MY PLATE. (CHUCKLES) IT'S ANNOYING ME JUST LOOKING AT IT. I DIDN'T FINISH THE CHICKEN. I REALLY DIDN'T LIKE IT. IN FACT, I COULDN'T REALLY RECOGNISE WHAT MEAT IT WAS. I AM DISAPPOINTED, BECAUSE I LOVE MARINATED CHICKEN. AND IT'S NOT JUST ONE TYPE OF MARINATED CHICKEN I HAVE, COS I'M QUITE OPEN TO ALL DIFFERENT FLAVOURS. I JUST DON'T LIKE THAT CHICKEN. WITH A YEARLY SPEND OF �208 JUST ON MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS, CAN THEY JUSTIFY SUCH A COST WHEN IT SEEMS IT'S THE BRANDING RATHER THAN THE FOOD ITSELF THAT'S MAKING THEM BUY IT? THE MARINATED CHICKEN, WHICH I THINK IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF THE WHOLE EXPERIMENT. WE'RE USED TO TWO CHICKEN PORTIONS THAT LOOK LIKE TWO CHICKEN PORTIONS WITH NICE MARINADES, AND OUR CHICKEN'S USUALLY MOIST, IT'S USUALLY TASTY, UH, AND THERE'S A LOVELY AFTERTASTE. WE HAD NONE OF THAT. BOY, ARE YOU TWO IN FOR A SHOCK LATER. 1 MELLOW MUSIC GREGG AND CHRIS ARE BACK IN STRATFORD-UPON-AVON, READY TO MEET THE WARNERS FOR THE LAST TIME. I WONDER HOW MANY THINGS THEY WILL ACTUALLY TAKE ON BOARD. HOW MANY THINGS THAT WE'VE SUBSTITUTED WILL THEY LIKE? WE COULD WALK INTO THAT HOUSE TO FIND THEY'VE HATED EVERY MOUTHFUL. WHAT WOULD YOU REALLY, REALLY LIKE 'EM TO DO? WELL, I THINK THEY'VE GOT TO LOSE ALL PRECONCEPTIONS OF A PRODUCT BASED ON THE PACKAGING. PERFECT EXAMPLE ` YOU LOOK GOOD, LOOK FINE, LOOK PREMIUM, BUT, ACTUALLY, THERE'S NOTHING INSIDE IT. OF NO SUBSTANCE. (LAUGHS) RIGHT. WE LIKE THE WARNERS. DO THE WARNERS LIKE OUR PLAN? THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT. I'VE REALLY ENJOYED THE LAST FEW DAYS, UH, FAR MORE THAN I, YEAH, THOUGHT I WOULD. WE'VE GOT IN REALLY BAD SHOPPING HABITS, GOING TO THE SHOPS ALL THE TIME, SPENDING A LOT ON FOOD, DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHETHER WE'RE GETTING THE RIGHT VALUE, GETTING THE SAME HABITS ALL THE TIME. AND IT'S BEEN REALLY GOOD TO JUST STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WE'RE BUYING. SO HANNAH'S WELL UP FOR CHANGE NOW. CRIKEY. I HAVEN'T SEEN HER LIKE THIS. I'M REALLY EXCITED TO FIND OUT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN EATING. AT THE END OF THE EXPERIMENT, HAVE GREGG AND CHRIS BEEN ABLE TO CONVINCE THE WARNERS TO CHANGE THEIR HABITS AND EAT WELL FOR LESS? HOW DID YOU GET ON WITH THE FOOD SWAP? IT WAS GREAT, UM, TRYING THINGS AND JUDGING IT JUST ON TASTE, RATHER THAN DOING WHAT WE USUALLY DO AND GOING, 'OH, THERE'S A NICE PACKET. I THINK WE'LL HAVE THAT.' COME ON, BOYS. TIME TO PUT THE WARNERS OUT OF THEIR SUSPENSE. OHH... I'M A BIT NERVOUS. WE'LL START WITH ONE OF THE ITEMS FOR THE CHILDREN. THE YOGHURT WE ACTUALLY GAVE YOU WERE THESE. SO DO WE THINK THIS IS A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE? PERHAPS SIMILAR PRICE. IT IS 75P CHEAPER. THAT'S A LOT CHEAPER. MM. SO THERE'S NO EXCUSE NOT TO BUY THEM AGAIN. WOULD YOU LIKE TO KEEP? BOTH: KEEP. YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY KEEP THAT ONE. WE'LL KEEP THIS ONE. FANTASTIC. A GREAT START. WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT THOSE TINY POTS CAN SAVE �39 A YEAR? YOU WEREN'T AT ALL HAPPY WITH YOUR MUESLI? NO, THAT WAS RUBBISH. WELL, WE'RE NOT CHEAP. IT'S A RECOGNISED BRAND. THAT'S A GOOD BRAND. WE LIKE THAT BRAND. YEAH. I THOUGHT IT WOULD'VE BEEN SOME REAL VALUE PRODUCT. WELL, IT'S CHEAPER. IT'S NOT CHEAP ENOUGH, IS IT? MM, NOT ENOUGH. PUT IT BACK, GREGG. OH, WELL, YOU CAN'T WIN THEM ALL. HOW ABOUT, UH, YOUR BREAKFAST BOWL? IT WAS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE, BUT IT JUST WASN'T GRANOLA. IT WAS MORE LIKE A PECAN AND MAPLE SYRUP CRUNCH. I'M IMPRESSED WITH YOUR PALATE. BUT! IT'S �1.70 CHEAPER, AND YOU LIKED IT. OH, I DID LIKE IT. SO, YES, WE KEEP IT. THAT SLASHES ANOTHER �176 OFF THE YEARLY BILL. HOW'D YOU GET ON WITH THE PIZZA? THE KIDS, UH, LOVED IT, DIDN'T THEY? YEAH, THEY DID. ABSOLUTELY, YEAH. YEAH, THEY NOTICED NO DIFFERENCE, FINISHED IT OFF. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. WHAT WAS IT? I'M GLAD THEY LIKED IT. LOOK! IT'S A FROZEN VALUE LINE. BUT THE SAVING ` LOOK AT THIS. THAT'S REALLY BIG. WELL, THAT'S INEXCUSABLE TO EVER HAVE ANYTHING ELSE. THAT'S NOT A YEAR. THAT'S A PIZZA. (LAUGHS) I KNOW. BUT JUST THINK` THINK WHAT THAT IS OVER A YEAR! WELL, HANNAH, YOU BUY THREE A WEEK. THAT'S GONNA SAVE YOU �415 A YEAR. AND REMEMBER THAT CHILLI CON CARNE TIM MADE? NO! MEGA SAVING. NO WAY! CHANGING THE CHILLI SAUCE, RICE AND MINCE GIVES A COMBINED SAVING OF �358 A YEAR. WOW. BLIMEY. THERE WERE SOME THINGS YOU REALLY DIDN'T LIKE. MARINATED CHICKEN BREAST ` YOU WEREN'T A FAN OF THAT. YOU DIDN'T LIKE THOSE, DID YOU? I THOUGHT THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY DREADFUL. THAT IS, UM, NOT A PATCH, TASTE-WISE OR LOOKS-WISE, ON WHAT WE USUALLY HAVE. WELL, FUNNY ENOUGH,... OH NO! (LAUGHS) ...IT COMES FROM EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE... NO WAY! ...THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS BOUGHT THEM. BUT THAT DIDN'T TASTE ANYTHING LIKE ANYTHING WE'VE HAD FROM THEM BEFORE. I THINK IT'S THE PACKAGING. YEAH, YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT. DECEPTION BEFORE WE STARTED. THIS ONE'S GONNA GET BINNED, I TAKE IT. YEAH, YEAH. YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING AT A CHEAPER BRAND? GOSH, YEAH. GOOD POINT. WHAT A SHOCKER. HANNAH AND TIM FELL FOR OUR BOYS' CUNNING LITTLE TRICK. THEY CURRENTLY SPEND �4 A PACK ON THE MARINATED CHICKEN, SO HOPEFULLY THEY'LL NOW BE LOOKING FOR A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE. FROM BREAKFAST TO LUNCH TO DINNER, THE WARNERS TRIED A WHOLE HOST OF ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS. (WHISTLES) THAT'S A LOT. AND SUBSTITUTING JUST THESE FIVE ITEMS SAVES THEM ANOTHER �423 A YEAR. YOU'RE OK NOW BUYING WHOLE CARROTS? CARROT BATONS ACTUALLY DON'T TASTE VERY NICE. YEAH, THEY GO OFF AS WELL, DON'T THEY? FRESH ARE NICE. YEAH, THEY GO DRY. I PROMISE TO NEVER BUY READY-CUT CARROT BATONS AGAIN. THAT TAKES ANOTHER �37 OFF THE YEARLY SPEND. WHEN WE MET YOU, NOT ONLY WERE YOU SHOPPING OVER 17 TIMES A WEEK,... (LAUGHS) ALL RIGHT. ...YOU WERE SPENDING ON AVERAGE �355. HONESTLY, I'M CRINGING JUST HEARING YOU SAYING THAT. LOOKING AT THE FOOD THAT YOU WANNA KEEP,... MM. ...YOU'VE MADE A SAVING. EXCELLENT. OH, THAT'S GOOD. WHEW. WOULD YOU LIKE TO GUESS AT HOW MUCH YOU'VE SAVED? �35? MAYBE A BIT` YEAH, YEAH. �35. IF YOU KEEP THE BRANDS THAT YOU SWAPPED THIS WEEK, YOU HAVE SAVED �114 THIS WEEK. (LAUGHS) NO WAY. EXCELLENT. WHICH OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR IS VERY NEARLY �6000. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY, ISN'T IT? (GASPS) IT'S A LOT OF MONEY. OH MY GOODNESS. CHRIS AND GREGG HAVE SHOWN THAT SIMPLE CHANGES CAN LEAD TO BIG SAVINGS. OH, CHEERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. CHEERS, GUYS. THANK YOU. CHEERS. YOU'RE BRILLIANT. CHEERS. I'M SO EMBARRASSED BY HOW MUCH WE WERE SPENDING, AND IT WAS LOADS AND LOADS OF BAD HABITS. AND THERE'S JUST NO EXCUSE FOR THEM, BECAUSE YOU'VE JUST SHOWN US HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE CHANGES. I'M ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED, REALLY SO PLEASED. YEAH! HAPPY? THAT WAS BRILLIANT, WASN'T IT? I MEAN... (EXHALES) I` DID YOU THINK YOU COULD EVER SAVE THEM THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY? IT'S A SERIOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY. THAT IS A SERIOUS, SERIOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY. �6000 A YEAR IS COLOSSAL. I LIKE THE FACT IT WAS` IT WAS THE FACT IT WAS A POUND HERE, A POUND THERE, AND IT'S THE FACT THAT ALL THOSE POUNDS ADD UP. HAPPY ABOUT THAT? I'M DELIGHTED. THAT COULDN'T HAVE GONE ANY BETTER, I DON'T THINK. WELL DONE, MATE. YEAH, NO, BRILLIANT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. COME ON. LET'S FIND ANOTHER FAMILY. www.able.co.nz Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.
